Ferdinand & Isabella gold 2 Excelentes ND (1476-1516) MS63 PCGS, Seville mint, Fr-129, Cay-2938, Cal-73. Obv. Crowned busts facing, an S mintmark between. Rev. Rev. An eagle, head left, supporting quartered arms. Fully struck, the flan slightly wavy yet leading to no significant loss in detail. Indeed, this type often exhibits peripheral weakness, whilst this piece shows only crisp legends on an almost perfectly round planchet. Ferdinand and Isabella's facing portraits are especially bold, perfect representations of the dies. Very rich color, clearly uncleaned and original with hints of red tone forming in the recesses. In every regard a premium specimen, even for its choice grade.
